Description:
This study draws on paleoenvironmental reconstruction, rockshelter excavations, and archaeological surveys to outline the history of an understudied valley in the Oregon Desert
Review Quotes: "A fascinating case study of archaeological research using the latest techniques to study a 10-millennia period in a changing environment."--The Archaeological Conservancy
"The book presents a trove of well-collected data, up-to-date techniques, and valley-focused synthesis. It is a truly multidisciplinary effort with advanced practitioners and talented students. As a reader, I benefitted from clear organization, clear questions, and logical sequence."--D. Craig Young, principal investigator and director of cultural resources consulting and research, Far Western Anthropological Research Inc., Great Basin Branch, Nevada "In the tradition of longer-term research in the Fort Rock Basin to the west and Steens Mountain to the east, [this study] serves to address a poorly documented area between these preceding efforts. The information on the Lake Warner lake level history, the nature of the early LSPl occupations, and the evidence for large-scale rabbit drives are especially notable... An excellent and important study."--Thomas Connolly, archaeological research director, University of Oregon Museum of Natural & Cultural History
